The present invention is directed to system and process for inputting, tracking, monitoring, and displaying the progress and status of the tasks within a project. The system is comprised of an application server, having a team directory and a project database, in communication with a member client and a manager client over a network. A manager client is configured with a plurality of interfaces to input users, create an adaptive, group based permission structure, select team members, and input tasks. The permissions structure allows a team member to be assigned to multiple groups with differing permission for different project functions. The system determines an effective permission based on the multiple group membership. The member client is configured with a plurality of interfaces to create and update task information. The manager client is further configured with a plurality of interfaces to monitor and input project information in response to project events and information. Specifically, the system allows a client to input a dependency hold status, which is visible to the project manager, the person creating the dependency, and other team members, reducing interference with task performance for redundant communication.
